I have tried 1A Crispy Puffs quite a while back and told myself to go back again. Glorious Jade and I decided to eat in one day and tried three varieties of theirs. There are sweet and savoury types for one to choose and are priced differently, I recall the savoury ones priced at RM2.60 (USD0.75) a piece as I prefer the savoury ones!. The shell pastry crumbles easily; eating it as gracious as possible helps in the mess control. Hahaha....As 1A's Singaporean website says, it's inspired by the intricate layering of seashells. Established in 1991 in Singapore, it has recently made its way here in Malaysia.

You can't miss the big signage!Rows of pretty shell pastry puffsThe fish puff - with Otak-otak filling. They call this the Crispy Otah Puff. I didn't quite like the taste of it as I am not really a fan of fish in the first place. But the filling is generous I must say. At that price, it better be :o)The A1 1A Puff - This is my favourite among the three, Crispy Crab Chilli Chicken Puff. It's spicy sweet and goes well with the taste of the shell pastry. When I was there, this was one variety that sold out first! Again, filling is generous with a mixture of potatoes and meat. It was delicious and I finished this up in quicktime!The Sweet Puff - The Crispy Sweet Corn Puff was average but this could be due to the fact that I only ate this after devouring the Crispy Crab Chilli Chicken Puff. It's like asking me to take a bite of wagyu beef cheeks and then a bite of some chicken chop right after that.The shy puff!

Well, I'm definitely going back again for my Crispy Crab Chilli Chicken Puff. However, please don't rush out and get them now, I don't want to go there and be told that they are sold out! LOL! But sure, go ahead and give 1A Crispy Puffs a try.

Ooh, this one I like, esp. the seashell-like pastry. My otak is getting crisy looking at them! KLite are so "food creative." How come I never ate this sort of food u put up on your blog when I was in Penang last year?

1A wasn't that popular in Singapore.. during the time i was there. I guess they have added quite a few varieties eh.. :) I love old chang kee's one.. ;) but am gonna try these too.. when i come home. :)

Hi Ginger, you must have been mistaken. I am from Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. It's easy for me to go grab the puffs. Thanks for dropping a note, see you around.

RM : Yes, I really like the pastry here. Well, the otah puff is weird to me too but like I said, 'cos I don't like fish! :)

wandering chopsticks : Wander no more! You can try making them since you have cooking skills! Or maybe you can contact 1A for a franchise in your neighbourhood... :o) Easier than cooking yourself, hehe...

I tried this when i went for my training last week at Damansara Utama! My friend recommended me saying that this shop selling variety of puff, which is not only curry puff. I went and tried. It really taste good although it is quite pricey for me (RM2.60 can have a bowl of wan tan mee in melaka, LOL). I tried the crispy crab chili chicken curry puff and it was really nice. I bought another two back home for hubby, one is durian filling one another one is the black pepper one. The durian filling one was so fragrant. Hubby said the durian one was really really nice!!I will definitely visit this shop again in my next training!!!
